Abstract
 Progress in the Digital Cadastre of Puerto Rico Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Ulises Feliciano Troche CRIM is the organization responsible for the collection of all municipal property taxes in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It was created in 1991 as part of a municipal reform that was intended to position municipalities closer to their primary sources of revenue. CRIM provides fiscal services to 78 municipalities and, as a municipal organization is responsible for the segregation, appraisal, notification, and collection of real and personal property taxes and the distribution of public funds provided by the sources defined by law. In addition, it is responsible to bring up to date and to maintain the cadastre of Puerto Rico, now with more than 1M properties. During the past year, CRIM was able to increase its productivity by approximately 300 percent using GIS software and in-house application development, adding 65,000 new properties to the parcel map.
